Step-by-Step Setup Instructions

Docker Event Webhook Setup

1.Use a Docker event listener to forward events:

docker events --format '{{json .}}' | \
  while read event; do
    curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d "$event" <WEBHOOK_URL>
  done

2.Or use tools like docker-event-monitor or Watchtower with webhook support

Example Webhook Payload

This is a sample payload that Docker sends to Alert24 when an alert fires.

{
  "Type": "container",
  "Action": "die",
  "status": "die",
  "Actor": {
    "Attributes": {
      "name": "api-server",
      "exitCode": "137",
      "image": "my-app:latest"
    }
  }
}
